application October '12, 19219, Serial No. 120,854 '5 Ciaii'ns. (o1; sea-8s) This invention relates to new and useful on provements in a garment hanger anemone par= ticuiarly relates to improvements in the suit hanger forming the subject matter of m prior U, s. Patent No 2,449,868 issued on September 21,1948.

More specifically, the present invention proposes a newand improved arment hanger characterized by a molded one-piece body having 'a top downwardly arched portion for having 'a coat positioned thereon and which continues-into a downwardly extending portion which continues at its bottom into a lower frame portion having a horizontal bar portion over which a pair of trousers can be positioned. I Anotherobiect proposes arranging the downwardly arched portion and the lower frame portion so that the coat can be positioned on the arched portion with its open front disposed behind and facing the lower' frame portion in a manner so that when the trousers are positioned over the horizontal bar portion the trousers will hang in front of the lapels of the coat and retain them smooth and flat against the front of the coat.

Still further, the invention proposes arranging the garment hanger so that the coat when positioned on the downwardly arched portion will be in frictional contact with the surface of the pair of trousers draped over the horizontal bar portion to retain the trousers in position over the horizontal bar portion.

A further object of the present invention proposes forming the downwardly extending portion with an opening across which a rod is integrally formed with the garment hanger in a manner to have a tie belt or the like positioned thereover.

The present invention further proposes arranging a removable bar in conjunction with the integrally molded bar in a manner so that the weight of the tie, belt or the like when draped over the removable bar will draw the removable bar downward toward the integrally molded bar to retain the tie, belt or the like against slipping off the removable bar.

It is a further object of the present invention to construct a garment hanger which is effective for its intended purpose, which is simple and durable and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, references' will be had to the following description and acoompanying drawings, and to the ap ended r 2 claims in which the various novel features of the inventionare more particularly Set forth.

Fig. 7 is still another front elevational view similar to Fig. but illustrating a Still further modification of the present invention. 7

Th'e'garrnent hanger, according to the present invention, 'inclfid'es a one-piece tony ID preferably molded (if a suitable biilored resinous plastic material prefera ly of "the thermosetting type. The

one-piece ho'dy com risesya tOp downwardly areas-door 011.1 I over which a coat I 2, see Fig. 1, can be'drepeo. The top downwardly arched portio'n H is provided at the top thereof inter- ,inedia'te of its ends a hook [3 for suspending the garment hanger from the usual sup orting 'rod, not shown, of a closet or the like. This hook may be made of wire or molded as a part of the bodyiil.

The downwardly arched portion l I in turn continues into a central downwardly extending portion I which in turn continues at its bottom end into a lower frame portion i5. The lower frame portion It has along its bottomahorizontal bar portion-d6 overwhich a pair of trousers i? are to he draped, as shown in Fig; 1;;

The top edges of the top downwardly arched portion ii and the horizontal bar portion i 6 are formed on their opposite sides with laterally projectin ribs !8, see especially Fig; 3, for increasing the thicknessof those top" edges to. prevent the formation of unsightly creases in the coat and the trousers.

In Fig. 1, the coat [2 is shown positioned 'behind the lower? frame portion 15 and the trousers l1 so that the lower frame portion and the trousers I! serve to retain the lapels of the coat net against the front ra'e'eof the coat. In addi tion, the coat I2 is in frictional facial contact with the trousers I! so as to retain the trousers l1 against slipping off the horizontal bar portion-I6.

Furthermore, the downwardly extending portion 14, below the top downwardly arched portion II, is formed with an opening i9 across which a rod 20 is integrally formed, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The rod 20 is so located that a tie 2|, see Fig. 1, may be supported from the rod. The rod 20 may have a belt, pair of suspenders or any other similar article supported therefrom.

In the modification of the invention shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the construction of the garment hanger is similar to that shown in the preceding figures, except for a slightly different means for.

supporting the ties, belts, suspenders or the like.

The one-piece body 10' differs from the previous one-piece body in that the downward extending portion I4 is formed with a slightly differently shaped opening IS. The rod see Fig. 5, is integrally formed with the one-piece body l0 and extends across the opening [9' as in the previous form of the invention.

A removable rod 30 is removably positioned in front of the rod 20' and isarranged to have the tie, indicated by the dot and dash lines 3| in Fig. 5, positioned thereon so that the tie will be clamped between the rods 20' and 30 to prevent the tie from slipping off the rod 30. The ends of the rod 30 are slidably received in horizontally aligned grooves 32 formed in the material of the one-piece body IE on diametrically opposite sides of the opening [9. The grooves 32 open to one face of the one-piece body III to permit the rod 30 to be completely separated therefrom and the grooves 32 are inclined downward toward the rod 20 so that the weight of the tie positioned on the rod 30 will pull the rod 30 downward in the grooves toward the rod 20' I to clamp the tie between the adjacent faces of the rods 20' and 30 securing the tie against slipping off the removable rod 30. In this form of the invention, the horizontal bar [6' is separated from the horizontally curved extension N5 of the lower frame portion l5 and is separated therefrom by a gap Ifi for sliding garments onto the horizontal bar portion l6 through the gap I6 The horizontal bar portion is terminated in the form of an upwardly protruding enlarged rounded end 16 to prevent the garments placed on the bar portion l6 from slipping off therefrom.

In other respects this modified form of the invention is similar to that described in connection with Figs. 1 to 3 and like reference numerals are used throughout to identify like parts.

In the modification of the invention shown in Fig. 6, the construction of the one-piece body I0" is similar to that shown in Figs. 1 to 3, except that the rod 20" is located somewhat lower in the opening Hi. In this form of the invention the horizontal bar portion I6 is separated at Hi from the lower frame portion l5" and is formed with an upwardly curved enlarged head [6 to prevent the garment from sliding off the horizontal bar portion I6".

In other respects this form of the invention is also similar to the first form and like reference numerals identify like parts in each of the'several views.

The further modified form of the invention shown in Fig. '7 distinguishes from the first form of the invention in that the one-piece body has a downwardly extending portion 14" formed of spaced parts with the rod 20" formed across the space between the parts of the downwardly extending portion I l". The horizontal arm IG is shown to be separated from the lower frame l5, at l6 to provide an opening for sliding a garment on the horizontal portion W. In this form of the invention the arched portion li of the hanger is shown to be somewhat broader at its ends.

It is, to be understood that the shape of the body portion [0 and the downwardly arched portion ll may be changed as desired and may be made of any suitable material.

In other respects this fourth form of the invention is also similar to the first form and like reference numerals identify like parts in each of the several views. By means of a combination hanger of this. kind the garments of the wearer may be placed on the hanger in the most logical order as each garment is shed, that is, first things first. This arrangement on the hanger will enable one to see the complete contents hung thereon.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
